Hot Dog Pete’s – Atlanta, GA (Quick Bite)
One of my co-workers asked me if I had been to Hot Dog Pete’s, which had opened in July of 2020. I’d never heard of it, which immediately made it interesting. So on a Sunday afternoon, as we discussed what we might want for lunch, I suggested a quick run down to Summer Hill to […]
Charlie Joseph’s – LaGrange, GA
Heading down to the Middle East (of Alabama), we were rolling down I-85 and realized that we were running out of choices, rapidly, for lunch (if we wanted to eat soon) when I remembered seeing a sign about chili dogs last time we went to Pine Mountain. Nearing 185, I saw the sign for Charlie […]
Chris’ Hot Dogs – Montgomery, AL
I hadn’t heard about Chris’ Hot Dogs until we got to Montgomery. I was telling someone about the glorious pulley bone at Martin’s, when they asked “Have you been to Chris’?” A quick search found out that they were a Montgomery institution that I’d never heard of – open since 1917. The next afternoon for […]
Zesto’s of West Columbia – West Columbia, SC
After our visit to Bernie’s and the comments I received, I knew that the next time I was in Columbia, I’d have to try Zesto of West Columbia. With a business meeting in Columbia in the morning, we stopped at Zesto on the way back to Atlanta. Originally part of a national chain, dating back […]
Short Leash Dogs: Sit… Stay – Phoenix, AZ
One of my guides for food in Phoenix on this trip, was this article from Thrillist.com – the 12 Essential Restaurants in Phoenix. And it led me to a hot dog place, which arose from a food truck, for lunch – Short Leash Dogs. The tag line is “Become a Naan Believer”. I love a good […]

Pop’s Dawg House – Dallas, GA
Here’s an admonition about the power of suggestion…. Several months back we were driving up to Cartersville to meet someone for dinner and we passed by this place in the dark and I thought “Hmmm. I didn’t know there was a barbecue place there”, and made a mental note. Tonight, when we were looking for […]
Lucky Dog – Suwanee, GA
I remember several months ago when I read Marie Let’s Eat’s paean to the Vienna hotdog, I thought that I ought to try one of those. As I was lone wolfing for lunch today, and looking for something quick and close to the office, I remembered seeing Lucky Dog when I was heading up Buford […]
The Varsity – Atlanta, GA
I can’t believe that I’ve never said a word about the Varsity. Perhaps because I’ve eaten there for at least forty-five years, I assumed that, at some point in this adventure, I had. It’s been part of the backdrop of my life: We ate there before Braves’ games while Hank Aaron was chasing Babe Ruth’s […]
